Roadside Assistance Netherlands

Accident assistance is automatically covered under your auto insurance policy. More and more insurers are looking to go a step further by also offering roadside assistance.
With Roadside Assistance Netherlands, you’re covered if you break down within the Netherlands. This coverage may be a good option if you rarely take long trips outside the Netherlands. If you regularly cross the border with your car, you can opt for Worldwide Roadside Assistance instead of Roadside Assistance Netherlands.
Be sure you’re not double-insured for roadside assistance. Car manufacturers often provide a similar service for new cars.

For years, Wegenwacht was the only provider of roadside assistance, but nowadays there are several providers. As a result, prices have dropped significantly.

Roadside Assistance in the Netherlands

When comparing roadside assistance plans in the Netherlands, be sure to check whether your place of residence is covered under the plan.
The premium for roadside assistance in the Netherlands is, understandably, significantly lower than for worldwide roadside assistance. However, the difference in premium is often relatively small. This is because the coverage area for worldwide roadside assistance is much larger than if you only receive roadside assistance in the Netherlands. So, if you regularly drive your car abroad, worldwide roadside assistance is worth considering.
